If you look at the inside picture of this card, a few samples away, you get a better idea of how it was made. The outside dimensions are 5.5 in. wide x 6 in. long. I turned the card sideways to do the scoring and cutting, so I first scored a line at 2 5/8 in. from the left edge and scored 3/4 in. down from the top and up from the bottom. (Don't score all the way across the middle) Then I scored another time the same way - one inch away - further right - from the first score line. This score was also 3/4 in. down from the top and 3/4 in. up from the bottom. Now there are four short score lines that don't go all the way across the page. I took the oval Coluzzle template and centered it with two score lines at the top and two at the bottom. I used the Companion oval and the channel 2nd from the large edge. I put the oval down and cut it around, stopping when I encountered the score lines. In fact, since I was making 40 of these, I drew in the score lines one inch apart right on my oval template so that I could line them up in a snap. You need to clip the channel bridges from the Coluzzle and then fold the card. From the top where the snowflake punch is, the first fold is a mountain fold and the next fold is a valley fold. When you fold it that way, the oval naturally flips over when layed flat and goes back straight when you open it up. You can embellish any way that you like from here. I hope that you can figure it out. It's not too difficult, although it looks WOW! I've seen it done with squares before and in a vertical orientation. I thought I'd be different with the oval and the horizontal orientation. --Staci
